today at the club we played 5 games of LADLG I
took part in 2 of them.

the first was

Han Chinese

1x Strategist commander

2x Hvf sw 2hw

4x Mix (Hvf sw/Mf crossbow)

1x LF bow

1x Brilliant

4x Mix (Mf sw/Mf ceossbow)

2x Mf sw impetus

1x Lf bow

1x Competent

3x Mcav Crossbow

5x LH bow

My opponent had Triumviratae Romans

1x Briliant commander

7x Hvf sw impact armor

1x Briliant commander

3x Mf spearmen

some Lf bow

1x Competant commander

8x Lh bow

we rolled for initiative and I won and chose to
attack on Plains

after we put the teren and set up our armies I
was off moved everything up the field hopping to reach the Romans on both
flacks as I did not think I could do much with
the legion in the middle.

After 2 moves my Mcav and LH started a shooting
dual with the Romans LH. I was pondering to charge or not but the shooting was
going ok so I did not charge at all.

On the other flack my sub commander (My friend
John his first game) used our Mf command to move through some rough and pressure
the Romans who were outnumbered.

In the middle even after 3-4 rounds of shooting
the Legion had taken no hits and charged in. Amazingly my Mixed groups held and 2 managed to win the charge but my Hvf sw did not do so well one dropping 3
levls in one combat.

Thankfully the Legion took its time to hit me
so my Cav command had killed allot of LH.

In my next Round john Mf command charged in on
the Roman Mf and that was it.

The second game was

Alexander the Great

vs

Leidang
Viking with Feudal German ally

the Viking were under my friend Johns command

and Alexander was under the command of my
friend Alexander (yes yes).

For both of them this was their first game in
command so I refereed.

In the end the Macedonian phalanx took the game
even though the German Medium knights were wining vs the Macedonian cavalry.

Our friend Socrates took pics which I used as I
was too tangled up refereeing

A few weeks now i have been catching up on
LADLG. The people at the club I play at have started using the rules so I started
reading them.

I have played 2 Solo games and 3 vs opponents
up to now. So my sons godfather visited for a game today.

My Han Chinese vs his American India or
something like that

I had 3 commands

Strategist with

2x Hvf foot Sw 2hw

4x Mix (HvF Sw / MF crossbow)

2x LF bow

Briliant commander with

4x Mix (MF Sw/MF crossbow)

2x MF Sw impetus

2x LF bow

Competant commander with

3x MCAV crossbow

6x LH bow

He had 3 commands as well

all were about the same size

MF SW/Bow

MF SW/Atlatl

MF bow

after we rolled for attacker (Me) and put the
teren i had the great idea to send my CAV command on a Flack March (it arrived
on the third round)

I won't go into detail about the battle but i
will put some key points

·The
flack march was not my best idea

·As
both of us had shooting we were not too keen on charging into cc

I like the rules as they combine thing I liked
in DBM (command PIPs etc) with thing I like in FOG (every one can shoot, cohesion
etc)

In the cc the fact that the advantages you can
get in normal circumstances vary from +1 to +3 can produce interesting outcomes
(when the die wants to help).

example is my MF SW impetus that charged a MF
bowman in the open the bowman had -1 cohesion. So the modifiers were +2 for me
(Sw + impetus) while my opponent was at -1 (cohesion). I rolled a 2 so total 4
while my opponent rolled a 6 so total 5. I lost and dropped 1 cohesion lvl.

Long time
no news

All of you
may have noticed that I have not posted anything since October 2015. It was on
October that my wife and I found out that we were expecting our first born. He
is now 13 months old and as you can imagine war gaming has taken a second place
(not that iv stopped playing).

I have
plans to steer him toward war gamming although my wife has objections J
